DNS Hosting FAQs

What is DNS Hosting?

DNS is the acronym for domain name servers, and refers to the servers that confirm where your domain is located. Name servers are the routers that connect visitors with your domain name, and from there to your web site, email, and so on. In many cases, a domain is registered at the same registrar that hosts its DNS, but that’s not always the case. If your domain is registered elsewhere but you want to use our products or services, you can either transfer the domain to us or leave it at the current registrar and use our DNS hosting.

Why should I purchase DNS Hosting?

Purchase DNS hosting if you want to use our services but your domain is registered somewhere else, and you don’t want to (or can’t) transfer it here.
